Because of their strange combination of bear-like and dog-like traits, they’re sometimes confusingly called the beardogs. And even though you’ve never met one of these animals, the beardogs are key to understanding the history of an important branch of the mammal family tree.

Just as a "beardog" is neither a bear nor a dog, so too, a polecat is neither a cat nor a citizen of Poland.
Aren't domesticated ferrets descended from polecats?
Like blueberries and blue berries

You sound like the kind of person who spell the alphabet backwards and beats other people who said you're wrong
William Walton you lookin pretty dumb right now bud
A bear-looking animal with a long tail?
The Ursa Major constellation is actually a Beardog!
Amphicyon major
That’s what I was thinking!
Ursa Major = Eurasian Beardog, Ursa Minor = North-American Beardog
I wonder what effect this will have on the astrology sector?
I love the tie-in with the other covered organisms. It gives a nice ecosystem-wide view, instead of isolated organisms at time. Imagining entire ecosystems is a fascinating gift only Eons can provide :) !
They do a great job of it but there are others who do that too.
Namely Aron Ra's Systematic Classification of life series.
Yes, that’s extremely important for educational purposes.
TierZoo
A episode about the Marsupial Lion is long overdue
Everything is long overdue
Facts
Also the Tasmanian tiger
Truth! Although that's likely going to be a DENSE episode. Can't really talk about those bad boys in a vacuum, y'know?
I would also like to know how dropbears went extinct
North American Beardogs: who are you
Eurasian Beardogs: I'm you but better
Owls Dragon North America beardogs: but but I’m better ;-;
Sup y'all I'm H. sapiens and this place is DOPE
Let's mate a dog with a bear and bring back the beardogs.
Where did you get "better" from? I'm honestly curious, & confused.
Elhardt oh yea~
As someone with an undying fascination with paleontology and related fields, I must express my most sincere gratitude for all the fine videos PBS Eons keeps putting together. Any chance of getting one on Rauisuchians and those other strange triassic archosaurs that predated the dinosaurs as top predators?
Second. Hey. Seriously. Give these guys MONEY.
Not to be that guy but...
of*
Fascinating stories, but far from reality.
I share your passion.
@Self Discipline color me gullible then. What's made up? Beardogs, archosaurs, or the entire field of paleontology? Can't say I've heard many people argue against the existence of any of those things but I've got time if you've got evidence
We need an episode of the American lion, the Mosbach lion, and Natodomeri lion. The largest lions in history, as well as how lions became the most widely distributed and successful big cat.
Agreed.
The Natodomeri lion was massive. It could have been equivalent to the largest individuals of the aforementioned lions in your comment. And since this is the only specimen there may have been even larger specimens.
The Natodomeri lion had a minimum estimate for the basal length. The basal length being about 20-30mm shorter than the condylobasal basal length. This would give us a 405mm average length of the condylobasal skull. The greatest length however is even greater than the condylobasal skull length and so the total skull length may have been over 450mm. Making it about as big or bigger than the american or mosbach lion. Thanks for big lil for the info.
@@natodomerilion5392 But don't forget, even if the Natodomeri lion was bigger, that the American lion or the mosbach lion were still giants to behold.
@@gygy2095 I can't argue with that. These lions were the greatest cats to ever stalk the Earth.
"Dophoenus demilo" ...well played, biologist who minored in art history.
So glad I’m not the only one who had that thought! 😂
I wonder if the fossil was missing its arms
Imagine how cute their puppies/cubs must have looked
I absolutely love Amphicyons and I think they are a bit underrated. They outcompeted not only hyaenodonts but also entelodonts , famous terminator pigs - big beasts from Oligocene and early Miocene. They were a large and diverse family of mammals living in many habitats and showing adaptations to predatory lifestyle, some became hypercarnivorans, some retained their ancestral omnivory. It is so sad that they dissappeared.
“Ambush predator the size of polarbears” that just doesn’t sound right
Cuz ya know its terrifying lol
How did they even extrapolate that this overweight flatfooted fart monster was an ambush predator?
@@m.b.82
The polar bear is an ambush predator.
worldsmostattractiveman also it’s body was not built for speed and also could not turn suddenly like animals who chase prey can

PBS Eons: *makes a video about a extinct animal*
Me: PUPPY
History may be full of overlooked characters, but thanks to PBS Eons we can know of them now.
Now to confuse people, do a video on dog-bears
🤣🤣🤣💀
MrReyno Tanks those existed too 😂😂
You should do a video on Australian mega fauna.
Yes!
I feel like we’ve been asking for this for so long. I know I’ve asked twice.
@@trvth1s you mean Megalania? The giant monitor lizard? Megalodon was the giant shark, and they've done that.
Wait, theyve already done the megalania
@@deeya Megafauna means big animal technically, so no.
Cats: if I fits I sits
Bears: if I catch I snack
Dogs: If it Moved it Food
xDD
Beardogs: if I blinks I go extincts
@@danparish1344 xDDD
Dogs will also eat already dead meat. Also I don't think full grown bear would be it's food unless it was already dead.
hydrolito
Thus, “if it MOVED”, past tense
Could you do a video on the marsupial lion, thylacolio carnifex? It’s ment to have had the highest bite force of any known mammal
*Proportionally
@Tomas Bell that's the Thylacine.
@Pierre Romeo Henry no, the thylacine is a different animal to the marsupial lion
@Pierre Romeo Henry no, thylacine is not a member of canidae
Canids never lived in australia until the dingo arrived a few thousand years ago
"Daphoenus demilo" - I see what you did there
Who says scientists don't have a sense of humor
Kallie didn't do it. It was Joseph Liedy - 1853.
Came here to find this one
@@billdecat855 Oh honey, she didn't mean that Kallie named it.
@@anne-droid7739 lol, no kidding. Just being pedantic. It's a kinda hobby of mine. 😉
Bear Dogs would make a great school mascot. We need more prehistoric school mascots.
I would proudly have cheered for the Phorusrachids.
One fine day with a "woof" and a "roar"
A baby was born, and a surprise was in store
No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog

🤣🤣🤣
Im so mad
@@ShutItKyle okay but why tho
@@kwanarchive Because that was amazing and I didnt think of it XD
I liked the description of massive beardogs facing competition from even other more colossal beardogs. I was expecting yet another wave of beardogs to show up with frickin lazers on their heads.
It's Naga from The Legend of Korra !
OH YEAAAAAHH!
I think they’re just make this sh!t up now, but I don’t really care, it’s awesome
I was waiting for this comment. Glad someone brought this up 👌
Hell yeah 😎
Wooo!!
Beardogs exist. Russians: I need this right now
A video on the evolutionary history of penguins would be awesome, especially with all the recent paleontological finds.
Yes eons please do this I need someone to convince me that penguins deserve to exist
stupid torpedo birds
@@zechariahbryan1568 Done.
Shoutout to you guys and PBSpaceTime. You guys are the real MVPs.
These films are so interesting about things i know nothing about.Thank you.
The background music at the start has me missing these legends, RIP bear dawg, I'll never forget you
Bears look just like overstuffed dogs. I think their relation to each other is underrated.
Could you do an episode on Andresarcus? Relatives if today’s sheep and goat yet they were carnivores
Actually recent studies indicate it was closer to the entelodonts and probably looked similar to them.
Cintrón Productions well see I just learnt something new now I REALLYYY need a video on them
That sounds fascinating I'd love to learn more about it

"And Beardog, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Cenozoic to Mesozoic?

And competition is not far away, it's Caniformi-cation"
This is definitely one of the best 100 channels on You Tube.
Never disappointed when I watch These series 👌🏾
This might be the best content on youtube. Every video Eons releases is amazing. Thanks guys! You guys ever think of putting together like longer content? I would love like "the evolution of mammalian carnivores" from the Paleocene to now or something of that nature.
Hardly forgotten. The Polar Bear Dog was a recurring character in Legend of Korra.
I'm still trying to forget the Legend of Korra.
I feel like these fearsome predators also liked snuggles.
I've always thought that bears and dogs have to be related. They look very different, but also very similar. (I know that doesn't mean anything, but...)
All mammals and humans have a common ancestor
All carnivorans are related.
Carnivorans are split into two family groups. The Feliforms (Cats, Mongoose, Civets) and the Caniforms (Canines [Dogs/Wolves/Foxes], Bears, Mustelids [Weasles/Otters/Wolverine], Skunks, Raccoons, Red Pandas, Seals/Walruses). So yes, a seal is more closely related to your dog than a cat.
Of course, all of you are correct, but I meant more closely related than just having some mammalian ancestor, or belonging in the same group of Caniforms. I look at them and think they have to be close cousins of a sort. Related by, say arbitrarily, 1,000,000 years instead of 75,000,000 years. I don't know how to explain it, I guess.
Like, humans and mice, both mammals, are related. We have some common ancestor. Humans and chimpanzees are also related with some common ancestor. The common ancestor of humans and chips is much closer to us than the common ancestor of humans and mice. I feel like the common ancestor of dogs and bears is very close to them.
Maybe I should have said that I've always that dogs and bears have to be very closely related.
@@glenbe4026 in dutch seals are called 'zeehond' which literally means 'seadog', so makes sense right
Eons : Bear dogs !
Me: Chow chows?
My favourite prehistoric animal: Amphicyon ingens!
Mine is either Harpagornis moorei or Canis Dirus...or Amplibuteo woodwardi.
I never heard of these animals but I'm so thankful for the EONS channel for introducing me to so many new history and prehistory.
You learn something everyday. Every time pbs uploads atleast.
Eons is by far my favorite educational show on UA-cam and thank you all for the work you do make it.
A couple topics I thought of that might be interesting:
- What sort of large mammals lived in South American before it connected with North American? You touched on this breifly a couple times but I'd love to know more. Apparently there was a saber toothed marsupial-like animal?
-What was Australia like before the great central desert formed? Australia once had migrating herds of giant wombats but what else was there?
-What have we learned in recent years about the evolution of penguines?
While we’re at it, I would like to see a video on Mesonychids. They’re predatory hoofed mammals! I think we all deserve to know more about them.
Over 99% of animals have gone extinct without man's help.
Evolution is a mystery that no one ever sees.
2:34 Daphoenus Demilo -- had to laugh at that one :-)
Venus de Milo! I see what they did there! 😉
Da Venus De Milo .... some palaeontologist has a sense of humour!
Does anyone else ever just think.... WTF? HTF? On a piece of granite floating through space..... Is it happening elsewhere in the ridiculous vastness of the cosmos? Makes my brain hurt, but I love it!
The conditions for carbon-based organic life are ridiculously specific, so I think it's entirely possible we're the first. That being said, we can't rule out the possibility of concurrent evolution somewhere else or even a totally separate kind of self-replication mechanism we might not even recognize as life if we found it here
Yeah....
Hey Kallie, I think you are the best host on this channel and I would love to see you present a video about Monotremes and their evolutionary history. Would be interesting to know if any large bodied Monotremes existed during the Tertiary period.
you guys should do miracinonyx aka the american cheetah ! 💖
Yeah, these American cheetahs are the reason pronghorns evolved to be extremely fast.
@@cintronproductions9430 now they have nothing that can get them
Who the hell even dislikes these videos? its some of the most interesting and inoffensive content out here.
Bible thumpers. They can't stand a point of view that conflicts with their "beliefs"
I disliked your comment because I find wasps horrible! Nah, just kidding 🙃
They just dislike it cuz they can't like it twice, that's all. Or they're drunk. 🤣
because amphicyon dont even related to cat they are caniformia but this thinking it feliformia
I love your program - any chance you could do one on cactus and it succulents and how the evolved - what were the first succulents? You could even talk about the convergent evolution of cactus vs other succulents!
I don't know if I've ever said that, but I really love this channel. Just to say.
Absolutely beautiful video. One may well cry that such gorgeous mammals are no more around. But can we have a video on the Pantodonta?
Non-Pleistocene mammalian prehistory is so underrated, and this episode is a fine example of that. Just because you're not the size of a building or kill with a psuedo humanlike stance doesn't mean you are uninteresting and unworthy of attention. I love dinos as much as the next guy, but their popularity comes at the expense of the eras and animals that came before and after them.
So sad, so glorious. Thanks for these amazing videos.
I'm so happy, because I requested this topics under a few videos. Now, I think it's time for the video about placentas, which we were promised a while back!
I like paleontology for this reason
*”Hey man have you heard of the bear dogs?”*
Wonderful lecture again.
One of my favorite channels!
Omg that's one of the cutest things I've ever seen
The First bears and how these bears were much different from bears we know today,yet explaining how they've gotten to where they are today
I wish I could go back in time and visit these creatures
Thanks, this was my favourite episode of all, your make a wonderful work guys
0:47 OMG they're adorable. Somebody make a kids show about them, NOW!
You've done "Bear Dogs" what about "Owl Bears"? Crossover with Monstrum?
We did a collab with Monstrum! ua-cam.com/video/Do-ihwWeS3Y/v-deo.html
Just recently found this site on my Recommended... now ive binge watched all the episodes more please
0:27 so it's basically a polar bear sized doge?
ABD G its always nice when they put the actual size next to them.
I love this channel! Please do a video about Paraceratherium, the largest land mammal that ever existed.
This channel is great during quarantine.
So Beardogs descend from 2 lineages: one featured "Daphoenus Demilo" (pronounced Da-Venus De-Milo)
Let me guess, the OTHER Beardog ancestor was called "Davincis Damonalisa"?
The script on this video is fantastic
After a long time you have published this video. Earlier I was on daily basis trying to see your new video. Happy to watch.
Beardog: You cant beat me smaller beardog!
Beardog: Yeah, but he can.
Big Beardog: Beardog time, beardog!
Idk what i Just wrote.
Miguel Montenegro *First and second beardog goes extinct*
A masterpiece, obviously.
Finally! Another Eons video...
I love this channel. Please Talk about Saurophaganax. "When allossaurus got huge"
1:33 “The Saga Of the Carnivores” would be a sweet metal album name.
Hyaenadon Horridus: who are you?
Amphicyon Injens: I’m you but stronger.
Please do a video on thylacines, they are extinct 'tiger' marsupials!
That's a sad one. They existed until recently, but they were hunted to extinction. The last one in existence died in a zoo long, long ago. 😭
@@cintronproductions9430 I learned about them in the Zoo tycoon 2 game and instantly fell in love, I saw the video of the last one alive and it hurts my heart 😢
@@albinakemet its nickname is tasmania tiger, that is what I meant
@@albinakemet yes I know. Sorry to confuse the two!
2:38 for half a second I thought she was talking about the statue.
Awww they’re so cute! I want a bear dog!
I love PBS eons there is always more to learn.
Animals of the past were so much more interesting
Another brilliant episode delivered by Kallie! Bear dogs are underrated and fascinating.
Gone but never forgotten. The beardogs
beardogs were cool but they had nothing to the badgermoles or elephantkoi fish.
... or the ferocious crocoduck.
Also the sabertooth mooselion
Come on they have nothing on the rabbit horn rhino.
Those were all nothing to the sky bison and winged lemur.
What about the lesser-known Saskatchewanian Moose lion?
Man, Steve is really mentioned in all of these videos. What a guy, sponsoring PBS
**after a few million years later**
Beardog: _I guess I’ll break apart into two different animals_ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No, there is no conscious thought behind evolution and NO direction. If you actually understood how evolution works and how a species diverges into two via environmental pressures, then you would not be so incredulous.
There are numerous MODERN examples of how this has happened. But you continue to think that life is static. That the WORLD is static. It isn't.
@@rickkwitkoski1976 Dude.. shut up.
Please please do a video on the prehistoric Marsupial's of South America and Australia please.
this music at the beginning is so dramatic I love it so much
Love these educational videos
Thank you for this vid! I was waiting for this one. My favorite ancient mammal
*reads title*
Me: YES
There are stories of these still living in Canada in the Nahanni Valley in the Northwest Territories. I watch/listened to a podcast thing of a group of guys who went there in the mid 60s. The guy they interviewed said that if there are anything man has not seen, it would be in the Nahanni Valley
1:17 1:18 reminds me of that creature some saw in the hot zones of the (U.S.) south-west (mainly Texas) which species scientists deemed an indeterminable species because it was too much of a mix of multiple.
Read it as Beard-ogs.
Was curious to learn about these Beard animals.
I want one. I absolutely love bears and dogs.
What is an Og ? A shaved beardog. Ok, I’m out
And let's not forget the even more confusingly named "dog-bears", the Hemicyonids (or Hemicyonines).
I would love to learn about right after the dinosaur Disappear
yeah it had to be a game-of-thrones level power vacuum
A "missing puzzle piece" for us humans. An end of an era for them...
Who else heard of these animals for the first time thanks to Walking with Beasts?
PBS Eons is a new channel I love watching. Was always a person interested in a lot of science stuff from the the other PBS channels about Physics and astrophysics. But of late I spend a lot of time on PBS Eons. Do you have anything on Paraceratherium or Indricotherium and the giant Sloths. I find those giant mammals the most fascinating among all the extinct animals. You have a wonderful channel, with highly fascinating content.
I wish that the beardogs were still around, I’d love to have a dog the size of a Mini Cooper.
Ever seen a Caucasian shepherd? It’s pretty close
4:56 smiles in doom guy
